THE CHINA MAIL, MAY 21, 1988.
I.R.C.-C.C.C. IS TO-DAY'S BOWL'S CLASSIC
VALLEY SIDE EXPECTED TO TRIUMPH
Wholesale Changes By Police R.C.
(By "SKIP")
Bowls
An interesting Lawn League programme is scheduled for to-day, and weather permit- ting, the match between the In- dians and Craigéngower, at Soo- kunpoo, will probably produce the most thrilling encounter of the season.
Let me say right away that I favour the visitors to win: In beating Recreiu away, and Kowloon Bowling Green Club and the Police, nt home, they ap- strenuous pear to have had time of it than their opponents, who have beaten Kowloon Dock and the Police, at Sookunpoo, and the Civil Service Club, at the Valley.

Whether the wholesale changes which the Police have made in their teams, (only two players are in same positions as last week) remains to be seen. Their opponents are K.C.C. and in view of last Saturday's result must favour the Cox's Road team to win.

NEXT WEEK'S
LAWN TENNIS
One may rest assured, however, that PROGRAMME
the newly arranged team will be out to justify itself, and a close game will be seen.
Club de Recreio having now tasted blood, will be after the scalps of the K.B.G.C. and it looks as if they should win after
fight. Several stern ft changes have been made in the Austin Road team, Lines, who is right on his game just now, having been' promoted to skip.
The Kowloon Dock men go to Happy beat the Valley, where they should
Civil Servants. J. C. Brown is unable to turn out, and his rink is being taken over by Glen Cooper, a very steady bowler.
LEADER'S CRASH
The two leaders in the Second Divi- sion, Craigengower and the Hong Kong Football Club. "A" team clash on the former's ground and this should prove to be the toughest match in this Divi- -sion. It must be remembered, how- the Footballers ever, that although
have won both of their ties they play- ed-all their matches on the home green (although one was an "away" match against their "B" team), whereas their hosts lost their only match, an away one, by a single shot. The odds are in favour of Craigengower.
The K.B.G.C. entertain Recreio and will endeavour to wipe out last year's narrow defeat. A few changes have been made in the visitors' rinks, but the home team remain as usual. I am inclined to the opinion that K.B.G.C. will just win. Ground advantage may prove the turning point in the remain- ing two matches in this division.
K. loon Football Club, leaders in the Third Division, will be at home to the Electricians and should retain both points, and I also predict a home win for the Hong Kong Football Club "C": outfit. Kowloon Tong may just get home against Craigengower, but K.C.C., with a greater degree of confidence, should win.

Rain interfered to a great extent with yesterday's "D" Division Lawn Tennis League programme, and only two of six scheduled encounters were held. The Army beat Civil Service, in an away match, at the Valley, although only seven sets were played, while at King's Park, Recreio proved too good for Chinese Recreation Club, winning by six clear sets, the last round re- maining unplayed.
The following were sults.
